Aluminum joints for pipe systems – lightweight joints from 11.4 g and HEAVY series
Lightweight connectors for aluminum tubes and HEAVY structures
Aluminum joints are aluminum connecting elements of the pipe modular system that join tubes into frames of transport carts, tow trailers and workbench add-ons. Standard AJ series joints weigh only 11.4–67.3 g, AJA series joints for the sturdier HEAVY profiles 47–420 g; all come with a 2-year warranty and resist corrosion. They are supplied per piece without fasteners.
AJ series connectors for aluminum tubes
AJ series connectors for aluminum tubes are designed for lightweight structures where weight matters – for example hand-pushed carts or workbench add-ons. The lightest aluminum joint AJ-08 weighs 11.4 g, AJ-07 13.6 g, the more massive AJ-04 61.3 g and aluminum joint AJ-03 67.3 g. The range is completed by joints ACS-70 (52 g) and IN-403_H (18 g) and the aluminum profile AJ-3143 with Ø 25.4 mm, 4000 mm long and weighing 420 g/m. Steel tubes, by contrast, are connected with metal joints.
HEAVY aluminum couplings for higher-load structures
HEAVY joints marked _H have a sturdier profile and are compatible only with HEAVY products. Joint AJA-01_H weighs 60 g, AJA-04_H 141 g and the most massive aluminum joint AJA-45C_H 420 g. Guide wheels ALR-500_H (60 g) and APJ-90_H (67 g) are used for moving parts; screws and nuts can be found under fasteners.
| Type | Weight | Use | Example model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard AJ series joints | 11.4–67.3 g | light frames, carts, workbench add-ons | AJ-08, AJ-03 |
| ACS and IN joints | 18–52 g | supplementary connections | ACS-70, IN-403_H |
| AJA joints for HEAVY profiles | 47–141 g | HEAVY products only | AJA-01_H, AJA-04_H |
| Massive HEAVY joint | 420 g | sturdiest connection of the HEAVY series | AJA-45C_H |
| Guide wheels | 60–67 g | guiding moving parts | ALR-500_H, APJ-90_H |
| Aluminum profile | 420 g/m | Ø 25.4 mm, length 4000 mm | AJ-3143 |

Frequently asked questions
Are aluminum joints supplied with fasteners?
No, Enprag aluminum joints are sold per piece without fasteners – for example joint AJ-08 weighing 11.4 g. You order screws and nuts separately according to your structure.
What does the HEAVY marking on aluminum joints mean?
Enprag joints marked HEAVY have a sturdier profile and are compatible only with HEAVY products; the most massive AJA-45C_H weighs 420 g. They are suitable for frames carrying higher loads.
What is the difference between aluminum and metal joints?
The difference lies mainly in weight and tube type: Enprag aluminum joints from 11.4 g are used with aluminum tubes, metal joints with steel tubes. An aluminum structure is lighter and corrosion-resistant.
How quickly does Enprag deliver aluminum joints?
Most aluminum joints are in stock at Enprag in quantities of hundreds to thousands of pieces, and material is delivered within a few days of ordering. Your maintenance team can assemble them with basic hand tools.
